2007-07-25 News Release
Degussa Specialty Plastics at K Show Degussa will be represented with innovative plastics as well as products for plastics production and processing at the K Show.
K 2007 is the world's largest trade show for plastics and rubber. More than 2,900 exhibitors from 57 countries worldwide will be presenting their latest developments at this leading trade show in Düsseldorf between October 24 and 31, 2007. Among them is Degussa, which will be represented with innovative plastics as well as products for plastics production. “Specialty plastics is one of Degussa's growth drivers” says Dr. Manfred Spindler, a member of the Management Board of Degussa GmbH. In fiscal 2006, the company generated sales of around 1.7 billion euros from specialty plastics. In this forward-looking market, customer orientation plays a pivotal role. Degussa focuses on providing customer-specific solutions: Direct dialog with customers is as important as novel products and solutions in applications technology. “For this reason, we develop a large proportion of our specialized products in close collaboration with our customers,” says Spindler. Degussa's activities focus essentially on two different target groups: processors and manufacturers of plastics. These target groups operate in different market structures; their needs are fundamentally different, and they have little in common. At its 600 sq m stand, therefore, Degussa has organized its entire plastics business according to customer and market requirements, with a division into two sections: plastics and for plastics. plastics is itself divided along the lines of the six largest customer
markets: Design, Optics, Communication, Construction, Lifestyle, and Mobility.
Degussa's specialty polymers cover a wide range of applications: in buildings
and in industrial applications, as constructive elements in aerospace
engineering and the automotive industry, in the electrical engineering
industry and medical technology, and in sporting goods and the lifestyle
industry. At the trade show, Degussa will be presenting in the plastics
section a series of innovative solutions for plastics processors. These
include the new polyamide 12 molding compound VESTAMID* LX9020 for supply
lines in the oil extraction industry, EUROPLEX* PPSU, the virtually indestructible
high-performance polymer for fire helmet visors, a system solution from
PLEXIGLAS* molding compounds and an acrylate-based reactive system for
production of molded parts with a scratch-resistant coating, and PLEXIGLAS
with heat insulating properties for reducing energy consumption in greenhouses
and private buildings. In industrial applications, Degussa's processing aids facilitate or improve polymer or monomer production. They include catalysts for polymerization, initiators as radical starters in polymerization, and additives for improvement of the properties of polymers and optimization of the manufacturing process for plastics. The innovations that Degussa will present at K 2007 include NEROX*, a comprehensive range of new pigment blacks for liquid components
of soft PVC, PUR, and UP resins, Degussa is continually pursuing innovations for the plastics market,
notably in its project houses, each of three years' duration. The Functional
Polymers@Surfaces and Interfaces Project House has now been successfully
wound up. Building on its findings, the new Functional Films & Surfaces
Project House will develop further expertise in the area of production
and modification of functional films. The research will focus on value-adding
functionalities for mono- or multi-layered films. Working on the improvement
of scratch resistance, electrical conductivity, dynamic optical effects,
and special barrier properties, the Project House is strongly oriented
toward the requirements of the end customer market. Plastics Processing Jobs - Post Employment Opportunity!
